“How can it be, in this day and age, in this very year, in this community, that a young man — African American, in his own apartment — is shot and killed by a police officer?” O’Rourke asked a crowd of supporters at the Good Street Baptist Church in Dallas earlier this month.

“And when we all want justice and the facts and the information to make an informed decision, what is released to the public?” O'Rourke asked. “That he had a small amount of marijuana in his kitchen. How can that be just in this country?”

“How can we continue to lose the lives of unarmed black men in the United States of America at the hands of white police officers? That is not justice. That is not us. That can and that must change,” O’Rourke said to the cheering crowd, many whom had risen to their feet in a standing ovation.

Wow. Ted Cruz posts a video of his opponent being cheered in a church for opposing unarmed black men being shot dead, in the hope it whips up a racist backlash against him in Texas. https://t.co/0qNXb7uW5A

It is so absurdly revealing that Ted Cruz thinks that this video of Beto O’Rourke saying that unarmed Black men shouldn’t be shot in their own homes by police officers for no reason...is somehow bad. https://t.co/Ll8dvVLyUX

@tedcruz Beto is so inspiring! He even inspired Ted Cruz to share this incredible speech he gave in the community. When was the last time anyone jumped to their feet to applaud something Ted said? Maybe during his college mime days? Nah.

@tedcruz Thanks for posting, @tedcruz! It was the push I need to start making calls for him from Tennessee.
By posting this I’m assuming that you strongly support killing unarmed black men in their homes? Because they have marijuana there? Or just because?
